Transliteration
sa dṛṣṭvā pāṇḍavān dūrāt kṛṣṇājinasaṃāvṛtān | āvṛṇot tad-vanadvāraṃ maināka iva parvataḥ ||
Translation
Seeing the Pāṇḍavas from afar, clad in black antelope-skins, he blocked the entrance to that forest—like Mount Maināka standing firm—confronting them at the threshold and barring their way.
